*Organic
Nilotica butter deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin due to its rich fatty acid and vitamin content, making it particularly beneficial for dry and aging skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe conditions like eczema and dermatitis, while its antioxidants protect against environmental damage and premature aging. Gentle and non-comedogenic, Nilotica butter is suitable for all skin types (including sensitive skin) and helps to strengthen the skin's natural barrier, maintaining moisture and overall skin health.
Chamomile is extremely gentle and suitable for sensitive baby skin. It hydrates and moisturizes the skin, keeping it soft and supple. The natural moisturizing properties of chamomile prevent dryness and maintain the skin's natural moisture balance, which is essential for delicate baby skin.
Calendula is known to promote wound healing. It can accelerate the healing of cuts, scrapes, and minor burns. It can also stimulate collagen production and enhance tissue regeneration, making it a great ingredient for stretch marks and a growing belly!
Marshmallow Root can help reduce redness and swelling, providing relief from conditions that cause inflammation and irritation.
St. John’s Wort is known for its potent anti-inflammatory effects, which can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin. This is particularly beneficial for babies, who often experience skin irritation from diaper rash, eczema, or other minor skin conditions.
Lavender has natural antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, which help protect the skin from infections. It helps in preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and aids in the healing process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should this balm be cleaned off the nipple prior to nursing?
For babies under one year, we recommend removing the balm from nipples prior to nursing due to the presence of beeswax. This is left to the mom's preference, but something we like to mention.
How long does this balm last for?
The shelf life of this product is about 6-9 months. There are no preservatives in it, so it is important that it is stored properly and absolutely no double-dipping occurs when applying it to Baby's bottom.
Can I use this for baby eczema?
Yes! But keep in mind, eczema can flare up and be caused by many external factors, like washing baby clothes with harsh detergents, applying products with harsh ingredients as a lotion or in the bath, other skin irritants, and dietary factors. So although we recommend applying this product on any irritated skin, identifying the primary source of the irritation is important.
Can this be used on baby acne?
Yes, but baby acne - also known as neonatal acne - can be caused by many factors, including maternal hormones, immature pores, irritation from fabrics and detergents, overactive sebaceous glands, contact with saliva and spit-up, baby products with fragrances, etc. With this in mind, try to identify the primary source of the acne and limit exposure to any irritants.
What does it smell like?
This product has no fragrances or essential oils, but it does have a very mild herbal scent. Chamomile, calendula, and a small amount of lavender do come through. It's a very light, pleasant smell!
Can this be used as a perineal massage salve?
Yes! This product was specifically formulated for tender skin and sensitive parts of the body. It's super lightweight and so nourishing.
Can I use this even if I'm not a mom or my kids are grown?
100%! It's a great multi-purpose, herb-heavy salve! It was just created with baby skin and super-sensitive areas in mind. If you have really sensitive skin or struggle with rosacea, eczema, or flareups, I definitely recommend having this product as part of your skincare routine.
